    By ESVBA | Latest News | 6 comments | 19 April, 2017 | 1

    EXMORE, VA., At its March 16th meeting, the Eastern Shore of Virginia Broadband Authority (ESVBA) approved to extend its residential fiber to the home buildout for residences fronting its current fiber route in areas of Keller, Bobtown, & Pungoteague, along Gospel Temple Rd., Hollies Church Rd., Beacon Rd., Adams Crossing, Center St, and Bobtown Rd. Between Hollies Church Rd., & Harborton Rd, see Map #1 below.

    Additionally, the ESVBA has approved to extend its residential fiber to the home buildout for residences fronting its current fiber route in areas of Machipongo, Johnstown, & Church Neck along Bayside Rd., between Young Street and Church Neck Rd., and along Church Neck Rd. from Bayside Rd. to the Heron Dr, see Map #2 below.

      There was orange conduit laid in front of my house on Bobtown Road in Pungoteague years ago. Why is your expansion ending at Harborton Road ? another ½ mile to Big Pine and you will get me and at least 4 other sign ups. Verizon DSL sux as does their cell coverage. Give us some relief

      Please bring fiber into the town of Melfa! There are too many trees for wireless bridges to be effective. Verizon has an oversubscribed DSLAM and will not offer FIOS. Help!

      Please bring fiber to the home service to the Nelson Drive neighborhood in Onancock. Fiber is about 100 feet away. Make it happen! Thanks!

      Can something to the Town of Tasley, I can see the fiber booster station from my house. Why can’t that be tapped into???

      Please extend fiber to towns of Bloxom/Hallwood because there are too many trees to receive effective service in this area.

      We’ve been looking at moving to the Eastern Shore of Virginia, but the lack of broadband has prevented us from making a decision. I work from home and require reliable broadband. I would think that the lack of broadband is severely restricting the growth potential for that area. Otherwise, it seems like a great place with great potential.
